13 months!

So much to catch up on, and so little time to do it!  Andrew continues to grow like a weed...... or a brick.  He has not been weighed for a while, but I am pretty sure he is about 26 or 27 lbs.  He is definitely NOT a held baby as your arm starts to burn after just a few seconds of holding him.  He continues to eat like a champ and has yet to full on deny any food that we have offered him.

Showing off my beer gut!

We have had a busy month with going to lots of birthday parties, lake fun, first Happy Meals from McDonalds, eating yogurt, and just generally having fun.  He continues to be such a sweet baby who is always happy to give a hug or blow a kiss.  He has made quite the number of "girlfriends" at daycare because he gives out the "best hugs" according to all the ladies who work there.  

We have been hitting up our fair share of birthday parties this summer.  What we know..... this child LOVES cake, cupcakes, crackers, and juice boxes!  It is a good day for Andrew when he gets to go to a birthday party!


He is walking like crazy and is becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with.  He is still sleeping like a champ which Mom and Dad continue to appreciate.  He is starting to say a few "words" like "ba" for ball and sometimes will say Mama, but ALWAYS says Dada.  He knows baby sign language for "more" and we are working on a few other signs for please, thank you, milk, and water.  When you ask him what a cow says he is so cute and says "oooh."  We are missing the "m", but at least he tries.  


Favorite toys right now would be a toss up between any ball and his toy car.  He LOVES to take rides in his car around the neighborhood.  I am sure he would let us push him forever if it was up to him.  


He has also found great fun lounging in Ollies' bed.  I can't get him to get out, so I just don't fight it!

Andrew, you continue to make your Dad and I laugh more and more each day.  You are keeping us on our toes and we LOVE it.
